Today we had our 8 week ultrasound and I got amazing news...the blood pocket is gone, the fluid in my ovaries from the IVF medicine is gone, my ovaries are back to normal, heart rate was 161, the baby is measuring right on track at 7 weeks 6 days and I am getting released to my OB! We met with our fertility doctor and he gave us a big hug and congratulated us and told us how happy he was for us. He was on a mission to get me pregnant and said he thought about us a lot. He also told me I can come in as much as I want for ultrasounds before my OB appointment. I told him I would definitely take him up on that. He said the record was 13 times from a crazy woman that had to come every other day. I scheduled another ultrasound for next Wednesday.
Baby at 8 weeks (front view of baby)
The technician said it looks more like a gummy bear as the arms and legs are not fully developed.
Here is what BabyCenter says about the baby:
New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
